In February, Google introduced a sharing feature for Performance Max. It is now available in select accounts.

This functionality creates a link that leads to a preview page for a specific asset group, showcasing combinations of assets along with the option to review variations across available networks. Anyone with the link can access the preview page, no Google Ads access required.

It was announced a week ago, that this feature will be extended to Demand Gen as well.

Where is the new Share ad preview feature located?

It is available from two locations.

At the Asset group level, click on the three dots and select Share.
